Carolyn- Do you have this birth record? It fits the 1720 timeframe you are looking for. "James son of James Whaley born July ye 19 bapt Augst 11th, 1728." >From the book: (no author), The Parish Register of Saint Peter's, New Kent County, Va. From 1680 to 1787 (1904; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1966), 109. My notes say this same entry is also in another book (but my copy is from the source above): C.G. Chamberlayne, The Vestry Book and Register of St. Peter’s Parish, New Kent and James City Counties, Virginia (Richmond: The Library Board, 1937), 500. There are Carter entries in this register as well, John, Jacob, Theodorick, others if that helps. Did Robert Carter have any plantations in New Kent County? -Bob ---- Carolyn Vosburg <lynvos@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > I believe that the man who may be my earliest James Whaley of record > held lands for Robert "King" Carter > on the plantations Old Ordinary and Moon's Place: > > Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. 7., p. 68. > > "The other places named in the (Robert Carter) inventory are OLD > ORDINARY, JAMES WHALEY, overseer; > Moon's Place, JAMES WHALEY, overseer; Medcalfe Place, John Orden, > overseer;..." > > Mss1C2465a (Microfilm ID) > > 1) Section 7, Robert Carter Land Book, 1802.
